All Rights Reserved! Pressure measurements • Pressure is defined as the amount of force that presses on a certain area. – The pressure on the surface will increase if you make the force on an area bigger. – Making the area smaller and keeping the force the same also increase the pressure. – Pressure is a scalar F dF P = n = n A dA nˆ dFn dA τˆ Copyright © by Dr. Hui Hu @ Iowa State University.

MechanicalMechanical PressurePressure GaugesGauges --11 Deadweight gauges: weight • High accuracy plunger plunger cylinder • Usually used for the calibration of other instruments • Application range : 102~108 pa pump •Uncertainty is within 0.01% ~0.05% of the reading Calibration pressure P Fluid chamber Copyright © by Dr. Hui Hu @ Iowa State University.

MechanicalMechanical PressurePressure GaugesGauges --22 Elastic-element gauges: • Contain an elastic elements that deforms under pressure and creates a linear or angular displacement • The displacement is either displayed on a dial by means of purely mechanical linkages or transformed to an electric signal that can be displayed or recorder at will. • They usually used for monitoring supply pressure p p Cross sectional shape Curved Bourdon tube p Twisted Bourdon tube Copyright © by Dr. Hui Hu @ Iowa State University. All Rights Reserved! ElectricalElectrical PressurePressure transducerstransducers • These devices provides an electric output signal that is linearly or nonlinearly dependent on the absolute pressure or a pressure difference. • They can be categorized as: – Molecular transducers: • Applied pressure or force produces a change (on the molecular level) of a electrical property of material. • Piezo-electric material such as quartz crystal: change in internal dipole moments of the molecules of the crystal when the pressure or force is applied. – Parametrical transducers: • The gross electrical parameter (resistance, inductance, capacitance) of an associate electrical parameter is altered by applied force. • Variable-capacitance transducer p E Copyright © by Dr. Hui Hu @ Iowa State University.
